Come on—we’re all thinking it. This season of ABC’s The Bachelor is probably the most cringe worthy of them all. And not in the good way.
1. Nick is simply not hot, or funny or really attractive in any way
Nick may have slightly redeemed himself on the most recent season of Bachelor in Paradise, but he has not impressed any of us since becoming the bachelor. Maybe it’s just me, but if he wasn’t famous I doubt any of these girls would ever find him attractive. He’s also 36…that’s four years away from 40. Oh, and let’s not forget this is his third appearance on the show and he has yet to find love. Definitely a catch if I’ve ever seen one!
2. None of the relationships seem authentic
I honestly don’t believe that any of these girls actually love Nick—even Nick doesn’t seem excited about them. It doesn’t help that he can’t sustain eye contact for longer than five seconds at a time and treats all of the girls exactly the same.
3. It seems more staged than it ever has (and we didn’t think that was possible)
We all know how this show works, however this season seems more staged and ingenuine than ever before. Who remebers the run in with Nick’s ex girlfriend in his hometown? He saw her through a café window and then proceeded to sit down with her to catch up while Danielle had to ask her questions about Nick. Or the time that Taylor was clearly forced by the producers to go reinterrupt Nick and Corinne’s date after she got sent home? There have been too many cringe worthy moments and I’m putting my foot down.
4. More than half the show is dedicated to Corinne
While Corinne was clearly casted as the show’s “villain,” they exposed her role much too soon. Not only that, but the entire first half of the season was dedicated to all things Corinne. Don’t get me wrong—I am definitely team Corinne, but it’s like she was the only interesting thing that happened all season long.
5. Nick cries every 5 minutes
Nick is such a baby! UGH! He cries at the most random moments and is so emotional about everything. How are these girls still eating this stuff up?!
6. One of the dates was picking up poop…
Pleeasseee let me know if there has been some sort of severe budget cut for this season, because the show has been a complete dud. No date has been cool, fun or entertianing to watch whatsoever. He literally had girls milking cows and crying over a vollyball game.
7. There hasn’t been enough legitimate drama between the girls
Half the fun of watching the Bachelor is to watch each and every girl that goes on the show embarass herself at some point or another. I still remember the first night of Ben’s season when Lace was blackout drunk at the rose ceremony, and when Oliva cried about her cankles to Ben right after he announced that a family friend of his died. The girls this season are honestly boring and the drama between them has been sub par.
8. Where the hell is Chris Harrison
Where has Chris been all season? I feel like the only time he shows up is for when the final rose is given out each week. I miss his heart to hearts with contesents—bring back Chris Harrison!
9. They revealed the bachelorette before the season was over and Rachel is still in the running…
Sorry if this is a spoiler alert for some, but I can assure you that it is not a rumor. Last week it was announced that Rachel will be the next season’s bachlorette. Only probelm is—she is part of the final four of this season! Why do I want to watch a hometown episode where I already know one of the girls who gets eliminated?!
10. Andi just showed up. Let me know why Andi is here.
WHAT!! Again with the staging thing!! I have no words.
